When it comes to finding the right therapist, Raleigh, NC can seem like an optimal spot. But even in a populous city, it’s not always so simple to find mental health services. There are a number of therapeutic approaches in the mental health field, and each may be more or less effective on different mental health conditions. What you personally need in counseling services may not be available in your area. In addition, it’s essential to consider the importance of therapeutic alliance. For therapy to be successful, you need to feel comfortable speaking with your therapist. 

When in Raleigh, find therapists through online therapy platforms like BetterHelp to streamline the process. BetterHelp offers over 30,000 mental health care providers, with professional experience in treating everything from panic attacks to post-traumatic stress disorder. By filling out an online questionnaire, you’ll be matched with a therapist that meets your needs. If you don’t feel a connection with your chosen therapist, you can switch at no additional cost.  It’s also easy to fit appointments into a busy schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can attend your therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home or office. 

Mental health care is important for all ages, and therapists can provide support as well as offer a number of tools to help shift you into a more positive mindset. While mental health is one of the more popular searches online, it’s not always easy to take that first step. Simplify the process by reaching out to one of the licensed providers at BetterHelp, and get started on the path toward mental health and wellness.

I am Cynia R. Black: daughter, sister, friend, and spirited clinical therapist. My goal is to support individuals , couples and families through life's difficult moments. Over the last 8 years, I have gained most of my experience working in the intensive in-home and outpatient mental health setting as a Family Consultant with youth ages birth to 12 years old, and a Family Therapist with families of youth ages 10 to 17 years old. With this work, I have developed a strong passion for working alongside young adults on a very integral part of their journey- transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. I have observed that oftentimes adolescents have been perceived by society as being "difficult" and "incapable" of change rather than seeing them as people who are trying to adapt to a transition in which they feel like they have no control. As a therapist, I am committed to empowering and supporting my clients by increasing resiliency, and positive well being, and helping to develop sustainable coping strategies. I am looking forward to doing this work and continuing this journey together with you!
